Script
- The Agile job-search map describes the process of landing one's employment that rationally carries out best option valuation and maximizes the outcomes from the employment.
- The map's goal is to navigate employment candidates in their job search. The map's levels reflect three parties of the job market. Workers offer their work, employers offer their employment vacancies, and job-market intermediaries offer the career services.
- This map has two hubs in its career service level. Employment suggestions is the place, which is needed to match three things -- vocation, existing knowledge, skills, and abilities or KSA, and available positions on the job market. The existing KSA are assessed through their analysis, which is marked as KSA analysis.
- The target position comes with its KSA requirements that shall be compared against existing knowledge, skills, and abilities in order to identify gaps, and, consequently, formulate gap projects.
- For instance, Educaship Alliance LLC hires bookkeepers to do income statements and balance sheets. Let's assume that someone can do the sheets, but not the statements. His or her gap project would be to review income statements and add it to the skill set.
- Employment credentials is another hub. Someone or something needs to credential you in order to get a job. Usually, minimum requirements need to be met in order to get a job interview. A few credentials can be earned during the interview as well.
- The most important feature of the Agile job-search map is that a big project is chunked in many smaller ones and results in one can define objectives for another. For instance, the landed job may redefine one's vocation, employment credentials feed employment suggestions, and so on.
